I shall update "Southwold Railway Locomotives & Rolling Stock" as well with the new version shortly. Shall I add Southwold to it as well?

Bruce,

Hang in there, I'm fixing Halesworth as well, hopefully tonight before I have to go travelling again for the rest of the week. Once that one is out you should be able to upgrade the whole pack.

Got it Jur, thanks

Will upload an updated version of the SWStock files ASAP.

Bruce,

You may want to wait until the black version of Blyth has been approved. I expect this to be tomorrow.

Did the other engines run in black too Jur, or was Blyth the last one running in the final years and so the only one to wear this livery?

I think it looks great BTW, black is the best colour for steam engines.

After Swindon green, of course

Known Issues with the Southwold Railway v1.1

1. SW_Coach1.wag does not read on some activities
(fix by creating a second folder called SWCoach1 so you have two Southwold Coach Folders)

2. Water Cranes do not swing properly, leaving the arm in mid air.

3. 1940's/50's Landrover placed in the route. Route closed in 1929 :. inacurrate.

- Any other issues please post and we will try to sort them out and eventually patch them -

I believe the other locos also wore this livery, No.1 was withdrawn in about 1922 so might not have done. No.2 however im fairly sure did. No.4 Wenhaston retained its green livery for the entire 15 years of its life.

It is suposed to recreate a ford, rather the bridge - on the earlier beta copies, the cars travelled underwater so you can imagine I was a little alarmed

However, the answer is "no there shouldn't be a bridge".

Indeed, the road forded the river and then crossed the canal by bridge a little further down. In fact the river shouldnt be quite as close to the road, and should have a pedestrian footbridge on the left hand side.

urm, well i do have a lot of problems coupling to wagons in the activities i'm afraid m8

coupling wagons to the loco seems to lock the whole train solid and sometimes it wont let me couple to the coaches at all, however when it does these are fine

What year was the 44 gallon drum introduced? I bet it was post-ww2 because they used to ship petrol in those 4 gallon tins.

If I'm right, you need to pull the scarab trailer out of the yeard and replace it with an earlier model...

You did say post any issues, right?

That cow in the field at Blyth is looking at me in a deviant way, can you change it's expression please?

No other concerns so far...

Mike, thats exactley the sort of thing I meant, something I didnt know (about the 45 gal drums). Will try and replace them with some crates or something.

Dan, yeah ive had a lot of problems aswell, even with the front coupler patch installed. Could it be something to do with the coupler set up in the .wag file or even the bounding box parameters? Basicaly, is it something we can fix, or are all activities going to somewhat limited?

There's always one isnt there...

. Martin, if you wish to retexture the cow, and get the relevant authours permission, then I will be happy to include a smiling cow in the route.

WHAT ARE YOU MAD?!
Blue is the only PROPER colour for an engine

(personally I like green)
